MEAT-CUTTING BOARD.

Application filed May 23,

The present invention is directed to improvements in meat cutting boards.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a board of this character so constructed that a piece-0t meat to he cut may be firmly held against slipping during the cutting thereof.

Another object of the invention is to provide a board of this nature which can he placid upon a. table or against slipping.

i-inother object of the invention is to pro-- vide a board of this kind having associated therewith a cover adapted to protect the cutting surfaceo't the board against containina tion when the device is not in use.

In the accompanying drawing,

Figure l is a perspective view of the device showing the same in inoperative position.

igure 2 isa top plan view of the devcie in its operative position.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the same. i v

Referring to the drawing, 1 designates the cutting board andupon which is secured a plurality of pointed pins 2 and uponwhich the meat being cut is impaled. The pins are inclined forwardly and arranged in a group near one end the hoard.

Hingedly connected to the board 1 adjacent the end hearing the pins 2 is a cover 3 which is pro ed vith side anti-end flanges l and 5, g which are 01" such height that when the cover is folded upon the board 1,

as shown in Figure 1-, the pins 2 will be 0011- the like and held meat impaled thereon will be firmly held 1927. Serial No. 193,665P

fined and the cutting surtaceot the board' protected against dust, and insects.

The board has secured to its free end a ring 6 in order that'th'e deviceican be con-' veniently suspended when not in use, there 40' heing hooks 7 carried by the board for engaging the eyes 8 of the cover to hold the same firmly closed. The cover is provided with a centrally 10- ca ted hook 9 adapted to engage the edge of a 45 table to prevent the board from slipping when meat is being cut thereon. i I

Since the pins 2 are inclined a piece of while being cut.

TVhile I have described the hoare as'being 'HIOI'G particularly designed for cutting meat,

it will be of course understood thatlishor other articles of food 'may he cut thereon equally aswell.

The cover when unfolded will lie in aplane with the board and constitutes a tray for rccciving the sliced inaterialr i Having thus described the invention, I claim: Q

A device of the lass describes comprising a board, a plurality of pins carried thereby, acover hingedly connect tothe board for confining the pins and p; u k surface of the board when fol ed .thereon,,6 said cover serving as a tray to receive slices when the board is in its operative position. I

In testimony whereof I aiiizz my signature.
